What's a good 3rd Party Car Charger?

I am looking for a good dual or multi usb car charger. The one I currently have isn't putting out enough power I think to charge and run the GPS. It also causes issues after charging that the phone does not recognize it's been unplugged and does not sleep. This is my current one (currently not available anymore): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0021WWYE0/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
EDIT: maybe this one? http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Heav..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1336573757&sr=1-2

I was running into the same issues. What I ended up purchasing was a RocketFish Mobile car charger. Has a micro usb (9 foot cord) plus a usb slot to charge whatever else you have. It charges my Skyrocket while using GPS and listening to music.

Your in the states so google RF-PMC55

What did you finally end up ordering?

the basic charger from your local att store will work just fine. Charges mine while using gps and has an additional usb port.

I didn't order anything just yet. I have a standard samsung one that came with a mobile window mount. But I am looking to be able to use 2 standard 6' micro usb cables from a single charger plug. I will post what I end up getting.

I have the same one. It works well for charging the Skyrocket, although I haven't tried out the additional USB port yet as I never have anything extra to charge in my car.

Thirding. I got this for my girlfriend and her Skyrocket and she absolutely loves it.

Not a two usb output, but it's very reliable and compact as well as versatile. I've had it since the iPhone 3G came out and now use it for my Skyrocket by just plugging in the micro usb cord that came with the phone. Charges anything with the right usb cord, usually an extra 2 or 3 dollars, except tablets. Rated at 5v 1amp.

I just picked up one of these for her highness. Don't have it yet but my existing dual port charger work great with everything from my ipod to my phones. $6.50 and two "1A" USB ports.
Griffin Dual USB Car Charger PowerJolt for iPhone/iPod
I bought this one in august 2011 and have been using it since then with no issues whatsoever. I like it because the blue logo on the faceplate tells when it's plugged in. Early on it would slip out due to vibrations of the car and "turn off" but hasn't in the last six months since it's "rusted in". Charges everything I've plugged into it and does both the ipod and the cell phone at the same time with no issues.
HTC Dual USB Car Charger Plug.

I've ordered some AmazonBasics stuff before, but with chargers you seem to get what you pay for. Both AB's I ordered were total crap. I'm using a iGo Green charger. Works great

portable charger, solve your battery issues once and for all!

i do alot of snowboarding, which typically involves alot of battery being used for my headphones/ internet radio and gps trail maps. there are also alot of situations where i am not able to have access to an outlet when needed. the one s has fairly decent battery life for a smart phone, but lets be honest, smart phone batteries suck. rather then mess with roms and optimizing battery life to squeeze an extra hour or 2 of usage i decided to just grab an external battery. i also dont like having much bulk in my pocket so i wanted something slim that was close to the same dimensions as the one s.
what i bought is the ultra slim touch control 4000mah mobile charger by power rover off of ebay for $39.99. its roughly the same width and thickness as the one s and is about 1.5cm shorter ( 65X115.5X7.5mm). its also constructed of aluminum so it matches the phone well. its got a nice heavy weight and feels solid and not cheap in any way. it has a similar feel and shape of an ipod classic.
the charger uses the same micro usb as the one s for charging, then it uses a standard usb port for the power output. the charger comes with a small usb to micro usb cable roughly 6" or 8" long, and also comes with a few adapters for different charging ports. the great thing about the included cable is that it can be used to charge the charger, then flipped into the outlet port and plugged directly into the one s so you shouldnt need to mess with multiple cables. i wouldnt say the cable is very high quality but should get the job done for a while.
ive now had some time to play with it an get an idea of the performance. the charger will fully charge in about 4 hours, and charges the one s in a similar amount of time as using the usb adapter. after completely draining my phone to the point where it wont power on anymore then plugging in the charger i was able to get 1.56 charges with practically zero use on the phone. in real world terms id bet you could get a full charge and a little more if you had heavy usage while charging. im a little disappointed as i was hoping for 2 full charges but its still completely usable. i dont have any other experience with portable chargers so i cant really compare its claimed output and real world figures. another small problem is the battery status is completely inaccurate. the charger drained to "25%" within 45minutes of charging, however that last 25% was able to finish off that charge, then charge a 2nd time to 56% so should be taken with a grain of salt.
with the phone stacked ontop of the charger its approximately 5/8" thick, and with it stacked using my distronic case its about 3/4". not exactly thin but pretty impressive considering it can extend your use about 1.5 times and your average cell phone was that thick (or larger) not to long ago.
im not sure if im allowed to post ebay links here but it can be found fairly easily.
to sum up
great build quality
solid feel
inaccurate battery display
decent performance

Dude cut your thumb nail!
Looks interesting and would like to hear how many chargers it manages. Looking at it some small plastic grips could be glued on to use it like a phone cradle which can be picked up cheap on ebay then modded for purpose. Depending on how it performs I may get myself one of these.

These portable battery chargers are great. I had picked on up from frys after killing my battery in a half day taking and streaming pictures for an event I went to. I can't remember off the top of my head who makes it, but I can get almost 3 charges out of it. It also has the second usb port for a tablet.
I can look at the model when I get home if anyone is interested.

The mine doesn't work
I haver recently purchased a power bank MKPBST-002. However, when I received it, I plugged it int an outlet for first charge but it apparently did not work. I tried to charge the power bank both in power and laptop but any led switched on. Could you help me to start up my power bank?
Thank you.

$40 USB "Qi" charger found

Says Qi and works with N4, but can't find it in the Qi site and there's no Qi symbol on it, so probably not approved (but neither are all the N4's currently out there [pre-rev 12])
$40 shipped and could be the basis of an in-car solution...

Efficient output is just 500-700mA? Too small to charge N4?
I thought the standard one is around 1A or over.
Thanks.

500-700 mA is perfectly ok for charging. When you charge from a computer via USB, the max current is 500 mA unless you use kernel tweaks.

It's got to depend on the output (mA) the USB power adaptor has to offer too. They even show it connected to a laptop USB port. So I think it WILL charge, but maybe significantly slower than a direct power connection.
By using a lower output USB power supply, sounds like you might be able to trade charge speed with temperature rise. If so it may be ideal as a charger to keep your phone topped up. Kind of like a low power trickle charger, which would be fine if my phone is on it most of the day... I actually don't like the idea of Qi chargers that make the phone get hot - seems to be trading convenience and wear on the phone's USB connector with reduced battery service life as it keeps going through nasty heat cycles?
Decided to risk it and order one

I agree, Used in a car with GPS on, maybe pulling 3G data for maps, bright screen, etc., it's likely that despite this charger, the phone will slowly go flat. And get hot doing so... All that energy from the battery/charger has to go somewhere - mainly heat once the battery is charged. If the phone's consuming, say 750mA at around 4.1v battery voltage, that's around 3W of heat to dissipate.

I am investing time looking for a Qi charger but that problem appears to be present on several cheap alternatives, the current they supply is not enough, or you might expend a couple of extra hours charging your phone

Just a quick update, ordered from fast tech on Jan 29th and received shipping notification today (Jan. 31st), registered airmail with tracking from Hong Kong post.

I do have this wireless charger. Ordered from aliexpress, it's always the same with different branding and logos.
It does the job, charging.
But:
Need to be very precise when positioning it
Back glass make the phone sliding, and cancel all the effort offered in the above point, making the phone not charging
I recommend to wait for a charger with more than only one wireless charging chip/antenna.

Ok I have this charger now. On first charge and working ok so far... Seems to be best in this position. Has now cut off an an indicated 99%...

Lining up the edge of the charger with where the bottom of the LCD is, seems reliable. Using an XtremeGuard style protector on the back, which gives enough friction to stop sliding if the charger is horizontal and the phone vibrates.
Above is FastTech image. I'm using stock N7 charger and cable at the moment because it was handy. Unit came with a USB charger and cable (with EU plug - I'm UK based)
----
Picked up phone and used it to 98%. Returned to charger and it charged back to 99%, but didn't beep this time when charging started. Maybe it needs to be more discharged before this happens....
----
Now at 100%. Charger seems to poll the Nexus about every 30 secs (solid blue light for a few secs) to see if it needs charging. Then light goes off. When it charges, the blue light flashes slowly but continuously.

Did anybody try the Large models?
For some reason they are cheaper even though they come in black or white and have the Qi logo/writing on it.

QI charger in UK

I picked this charger up and it works great with my N4.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ANA8TA0/ref=wms_ohs_product
Its a tiny bit picky with a case on, and if you put the phone down on the white LEG panel at the top, but otherwise brilliant.
I'll try and run the phone down low, and get a screen shot showing charging time. I don't think its that much slower than the wire (and I leave my screen on when charging)

Thanks. I bought one and it even works with the official bumper and stick on plastic cover on the back. However, the flashing blue light is annoying. I might have to open it up and disconnect it.

5V is 5V, but the USB Qi charger asks for 2A in and that's more than the N4 charger gives (I think)
Its also more than a USB 2 port can give, they are limited to 500mA normally.
USB3 can give that kind of output.
Less Amps = slower charge

Hmmm...fortunately I have a USB 3 port, would that mean I'll get a similar charge time as using the mains version?

Damn, sadly my memory failed me and it seems USB3 can only give 900mA.
Sorry to get hopes up, but I think you'd get a faster charge from a wall socket.

There's a semi-circle of tiny LEDs at the top marked D1-D12. I tried desoldering D9 and D10 but in the end I just ripped them out with tweezers because my soldering skills are seriously lacking. After putting it all back together surprisingly it still worked and it doesn't light up anymore! The LEDs must have been connected in series to each other but in parallel to the rest of the charger.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you open up your qi wireless charger and electrocute your cat or something. Follow these instructions at your own risk.
EDIT: Nope it still lights up, just less so. Why won't it die!?

I have the latest tasker beta setup to vibrate when wireless charging goes on and off, makes it easy to tell when its working when you can't see the leds

If the specs are right it looks like the USB one puts out ~3.5W vs the more normal 5W, so is a bit slower.
Its not really clear why it is lower power (even if the losses are higher a 1.5 or 2A 5v charger would be powerful enough). Maybe the limit is whatever step up conversion they use to increase the 5v for transmission.
Google's help site says the nexus 4 charger is 1.2A (I thought it was 1.5), but this should still work fine with this Qi charger. If it turns out it can put out more like 5W then you would be slightly better off with a 2A charger.
I am quite tempted by this USB one anyway because it is a bit more flexible - you can use other sources such as batteries or even a pc. Most of the other ones (besides the nokia) use 19v so you cant use much besides the included mains adapter.
Anyway, thanks for the links in this thread - I had been considering buying the same one as you but from mobilefun for more money.

Jesus. Wireless charging means something different (usually refers to inductive charging). Explain it as built-in charging and makes more sense for some.

Well built in charging would be something like kinetic charging such as that found in a nice mechanical watch. Manufacturers have been trying to generate enough power in that method, quite unsuccessfully for years.
Now what we could do instead of asking me or OP to refer to it as something you individually understand, maybe you instead could educate yourself in some way to the generally used lexicon in the industry which certainly is "wireless charging."
Here are some terms from the Internet which I assume you have?
Wireless charging case. A case that can charge a phone with an inbuilt wireless receiver
Battery case. A case that can charge your phone because it has a built in battery pack.
Now this could also be a wireless enabled battery case but we will save that one for a later reply where you try and justify your original comment.

Lol I don't care to go on, my only point to my reply was your snarkiness about things that people misunderstood. Samsung used to have replacement battery door to enable inductive charging, also referred to as wireless charging. If you simply Google wireless charging look at what comes up.
The OP clarified what they were looking for so I was incorrect in my assumption of what they were looking for. That is all.

Do you know if it's possible to have both ? A Qi charger case with an external usb port too ?

Asking for a wireless charging case, in the accessories subforum, could not have been more clear. jackdforme was fully justified with his response.

I'm looking for the same, a case with qi charger inside. But I also have a car with Android Auto and I need to plugg my phone with a USB cable to works with my car.
Do you know if it's possible to have both ? A Qi charger case with an external usb port too ?
thank you

I don't think so. The Holy Grail would certainly be a case which inserted into the phone's ucb-c jack and then either had a pass-through which shut off the charging flow or was an extension which allowed a plugged in usb-c(which of course would also need to shut off the qi charging flow).
Would love to see that, but I'm a developer, not an engineer, so not sure this is even possible.

Asking for a wireless charging case, in the accessories subforum, could not have been more clear. jackdforme was fully justified with his response.

Let's hope we get one in production soon.
